The plane slowly took off amidst the noisy engine sound, but Wang Ran and others were not on the plane.
At the last minute before takeoff, Wang Ran suddenly thought that he could purchase a better aircraft from the World Hub to shorten the eight-hour flight.
"Hang the family members!"
"It's so sci-fi!"
Bai Fan looked at the aircraft in front of him and marveled.
This aircraft is called a water drop, but unlike the water drop in "The Three-Body Problem", this water drop has almost no combat capabilities. Its only feature is that it flies very fast.
It cruises through the Earth's atmosphere at ten times the speed of sound.
This means that it only takes half an hour to complete the eight-hour flight of a commercial aircraft.
"Stop looking, come up here."
Wang Ran opened the passenger compartment of the aircraft.
This aircraft is point-and-shoot operated.
Load the map before use, and then just click where you want to go. The small laser transmitter on the aircraft can also clear away birds encountered along the way.
At Wang Ran's call, everyone sat into the water drop.
This is an aircraft specially designed for extraordinary beings. The terrifying acceleration is enough to kill any ordinary person instantly, but for them it is like a breeze blowing on their face.
Half an hour later, they arrived at Kunlun Mountain.
"Is the fog in Kunlun Mountain always this heavy?"
Yi Ya lay beside the window in confusion.
Viewed from a high place, the gloomy fog enveloped the entire Kunlun Mountains, even covering other places near the mountains.
They couldn't see the Kunlun Mountains at all.
"no."
The second leader took out his tablet and showed Yiya a photo of the Kunlun Mountains. He explained: "Although the Kunlun Mountains are shrouded in clouds and fog all year round, the visibility under normal circumstances is very good."
The Kunlun Mountains in the photo have clear skies, and the brown mountains are clearly visible, in sharp contrast to the Kunlun Mountains that are buried deep in fog at this moment.
The second leader said: "This summer is hotter than previous years. The snow on Kunlun Mountain has melted. The flow of several rivers downstream has surged, causing floods and once blocking traffic near Kunlun Mountain."
Yi Ya nodded confusedly.
"When did the fog appear?"
Wang Ran asked.
He had seen the heavy fog in Kunlun Mountain during the simulation, and there was aura in the fog.
He thought it was the clay sculpture, but the fog appeared at this time, so it had nothing to do with the clay sculpture.
The second leader replied respectfully: "Two days ago, something happened to the tour group."
Wang Ran looked thoughtful.
When the accident happened to the tour group, he was exploring the secrets, so the fog in Kunlun Mountain had nothing to do with the clay sculptures, but probably had something to do with him.
At the end of Xunyou's exploration, the God of Wealth breaks the stone statue and releases green smoke. He still doesn't know what the green smoke is.
But if it is the green smoke that causes the spiritual energy to revive,
Totally understandable.
After all, the God of Wealth is the only god who has "returned". He discovered that the earth has entered the Age of Dharma End, and it is reasonable for him to do something to remedy the situation.
"These are not ordinary mists."
Taoist Ji'an said in surprise: "This is spiritual energy, yes, it must be spiritual energy!"
The water droplet aircraft has a good ventilation system. It is hovering over the Kunlun Mountains and automatically inhales some mist, which Taoist Ji'an senses.
"What is Reiki?"
Yi Ya asked doubtfully.
Taoist Ji'an said excitedly: "Reiki is the foundation of spiritual practice! It can strengthen the body, strengthen the spirit, help those with strong bloodlines awaken extraordinary talents, and can also be stored in the body as energy to drive spells!"
"Extraordinary beings in ancient times used spiritual energy to fight!"
"But after the age of mythology, spiritual energy gradually declined, and by the Qin Dynasty it was almost gone!"
"Incredible!"
He lay by the window and muttered to himself: "Where does the aura of Kunlun Mountain come from?"
Wang Ran remained silent.
He controlled the water droplet aircraft to hover over the Kunlun Mountains, and used the aircraft's own mapping instrument to explore the terrain of the Kunlun Mountains.
"Sir!" The second leader said respectfully, "There is already news about the ancient temple in Kunlun Mountain you asked me to check."
Wang Ran asked without raising his head: "Where are you?"
The second leader replied: "It was discovered halfway up the mountainside of Gonggeer Peak at an altitude of 4,247 meters. It was discovered in the 1980s. The date of construction and the identity of the builder are unknown."
Konggeer Peak is the highest peak in the Kunlun Mountains, with an altitude of 7,719 meters, 800 meters higher than the second highest peak in the Kunlun Mountains.
Wang Ran flew the aircraft to the sky above Gonggeer Peak.
He glanced out the window.
He found that the fog near Konger Peak was particularly thick, seemingly two to three times that of other places.
"What a rich spiritual energy!"
Taoist Ji'an's words confirmed his view.
He murmured: "This should be it."
Resentment, spiritual energy, incense and wish power.
Three forces gave birth to the monster clay sculpture,
If it is not stopped in time,
Human beings all over the earth will become the fuel for refining the ancestral veins of clay sculptures.
Wang Ran looked at Gonggeer Peak below,
He looked at the rolling mist,
There was an ominous premonition in my heart.
His mental attributes have reached 10,000, and ominous premonitions often manifest into real-life bad things, some of which may even threaten his life.
Wang Ran activated the real-time simulation function without hesitation.
【Start real-time simulation】
[You land an aircraft on Kongger Peak. The thick fog obscures your sight. The aircraft's simulated map is also disturbed. You have been unable to find the ancient temple.]
[You are lost in the fog]
【You have come to an ancient village】
[This village has been abandoned for a long time. You hesitated at the entrance of the village for a while, and finally decided to find out.]
[You entered an abandoned village]
[You find a lot of footprints on the ground]
[You shout loudly]
【Do you feel like someone is following you】
【You go back and search】
[You found nothing]
[End of simulation]
Wang Ran frowned.
In the Kunlun Mountains, which is more than 4,000 meters above sea level, who would think that their life is too comfortable and would go to live in this freezing cold place?
Do you want to eat pancakes?
This is so unreasonable, unless this village is a ghost village that the tour group mistakenly entered.
But the tour group mistakenly entered a ghost village as soon as they entered the Kunlun Mountains. Why could they also mistakenly enter a ghost village halfway up the Gonggeer Peak?
Does the fog have the effect of moving space?
Wang Ran was full of questions and he performed another simulation.
【Start real-time simulation】
[You copied the map in advance and then controlled the aircraft to land on Gonger Peak]
[You follow the map to find the ancient temple]
[You are lost in the fog]
Wang Ran's face suddenly turned ugly.
The last time he got lost was because the aircraft's map was interfered with. This time he copied the map in advance, but he still got lost.
what is this? A natural maze?
【You have come to an ancient village】
[You walked in warily]
【Do you feel like someone is following you】
If this ancient village was the ghost village that the tour group entered by mistake, then there must be many ghosts hiding in the dark and watching him.
[You take out an ancient relic]
[This is the folding fan that you repaired with "Mending Sky"]
[You wave your folding fan at the ancient village]
[A raging river gushed out of the folding fan. The water washed away the buildings in the ancient village and overturned many of the houses in the ancient village.]
Not coming out, right?
Then don't blame me for lifting your grave!
[The sky becomes gloomy]
[Many red-clothed ghost figures emerge from the corner]
[They look at you silently]
[End of simulation]
The thirty-minute simulation time was still too short, but it helped Wang Ran confirm two things.
First of all, getting lost is not an accident.
Secondly, the ancient village he entered by mistake was the ghost village that the tour group had visited.
"Why did you get lost twice, and both times ended up in a ghost village?"
Wang Ran felt very puzzled.
He wondered: "The ghost village is targeting me?"
It shouldn’t be!
When he was searching for secrets, he was manipulating the God of Wealth. If the ghost village wants revenge, he should go to the God of Wealth!
etc!
Could it be that because he looks exactly like the God of Wealth, Guicun got the wrong person?
try again.
[Start real-time simulation]
[You control the aircraft to land on Kongger Peak]
[You carefully explore according to the map]
[You suddenly feel dizzy]
【You are lost】
【You have come to an ancient village】
"You're really targeting me, aren't you?"
Wang Ran was a little annoyed.
Although it was indeed him who did the thing, he couldn't accept that Guicun came to him by mistake!
Isn’t this an injustice to a good person?
He can't bear this grievance!
[You took out a folding fan outside the village]
[You wave vigorously at the ancient village]
[A big river gushed out from the fan, and the water washed away several houses that were in disrepair, and then flowed into the village, with the potential to submerge the entire village]
[Suddenly, the sky changed drastically]
[You hear the scary ghost cry, and then see red-clothed ghost figures emerging from the turbid river water]
[You can tell they hate you so much]
【You won't go in】
[They won’t come out]
[You are staring at each other across the river at the entrance of the village]
[The atmosphere gradually becomes weird]
"Can't these ghosts leave the village?"
Wang Ran was curious.
【"Come here!"】
[You yell at the ghosts in the village]
[The ghost rushed out of the village]
【They tore you apart】
[End of simulation]
The corner of Wang Ran's mouth twitched.
It seems that the ghost is not unable to leave the village, but is afraid of the God of Wealth and dare not act rashly.
"Even if they can't leave the village, they won't do me any good." Wang Ran thought, "I want to find that temple, and I can't keep getting lost in the ghost village!"
what to do?
Should he let someone else find an ancient temple for him?
[Start real-time simulation]
[The object of this simulation is Yi Ya]
[Yiya follows you to Konggeer Peak]
[She left the aircraft]
[She followed your instructions to find the ancient temple where the clay sculptures were born]
【She found the ancient temple】
[She discovered that the ancient temple was surrounded by strong resentment]
【She entered the ancient temple】
[She found a badly damaged clay sculpture]
[End of simulation]
Sure enough, Guicun only focused on him.
Easing will not be affected.
"Surrounded by resentment"
Now it is certain that the ancient temple he is looking for is here. The only problem is that as soon as he walks into the fog, he will be taken away by the ghost village and there is no way to go to the ancient temple in person.
But if he couldn't go to the ancient temple in person, he wouldn't be able to convert the clay sculpture.
"Why do I keep getting lost?"
Wang Ran murmured.
Can't the aircraft be flown directly outside the ancient temple?
It saves him groping in the fog. As long as he doesn't run around in the fog, he probably won't be dragged away by the ghost village.
[Start real-time simulation]
[You tried to land the aircraft near an ancient temple, but as soon as the aircraft entered heavy fog, its instruments failed and it could only land near vague coordinates]
【.】
[End of simulation]
"This fog is not just a fog containing spiritual energy!"
Wang Ran thought: "After the spiritual energy is revived, a natural formation may be formed nearby that interferes with the operation of the instrument."
"Array?"
Taoist Ji'an asked in confusion: "Are you talking about the formation?"
Wang Ran was startled for a moment, and he suddenly realized that Taoist Ji'an might have some knowledge of this situation.
He asked: "There is a natural formation below, and the aircraft will malfunction as soon as it enters the fog. What should we do in this situation?"
Taoist Ji'an was startled for a moment.
Under Wang Ran's expectant gaze, he hesitated and said: "I'm not sure, the spiritual energy has disappeared for too long, and I haven't delved into this knowledge."
Wang Ran was immediately disappointed.
But Taoist Ji'an paused for a moment and then said: "If you want to prevent the instrument from malfunctioning, there is no need to crack the formation. You can empty the fog around here."
Wang Ran was stunned.
Empty the fog – will that work?
Taoist Ji'an continued: "I have a banana fan, which is the one used by Princess Iron Fan in "Journey to the West". You can try it."
Wang Ran's eyes lit up: "Is that the banana fan that can extinguish the Flame Mountain?"
Taoist Ji'an nodded.
He pulled out a two-meter-high broken fan from the bag on his waist and whispered: "If that doesn't work, let's go back and get some more ancient relics that have a suppressive effect."
"It shouldn't be difficult to just blow away the fog without breaking the formation."
He handed the banana fan to Wang Ran.
Wang Ran took the banana fan and looked at it carefully.
He found that the banana fan was so broken that it could hardly be called a fan. The area of the hole was larger than the area of the fan blades, so its power must be greatly reduced.
But it doesn't matter, he can fix it.
He rubbed his temples, trying to repair the headache left by the Immortal Killing Gourd, and activated [Mending the Sky] on the Banana Fan.
The artistic conception of perfection ripples out.
The banana fan glows with gleaming white light, and a layer of faint green spreads around the fan bone.
Two seconds later, Wang Ran had a headache.
He ended [Mending the Sky].
After a closer look, all the small holes in the banana fan were repaired, leaving only a few palm-sized holes.
The force that caused the banana fan to break remained on these holes. This force hindered [Mending the Sky], otherwise Wang Ran would be able to completely repair the entire fan just this time.
Taoist Ji'an exclaimed: "He is indeed a saint!"
The reason why he took out the banana fan was because he saw Wang Ran repairing the Immortal Killing Gourd on the plane.
Although the banana fan is seriously damaged, with a little repair, it can exert one-tenth of the power of a fan to extinguish the Flame Mountain in mythology, and it will be easy to disperse the fog on Gonger Peak.
Wang Ran started the simulation while holding a fan.
[Start real-time simulation]
[You control the aircraft to hover over Konger Peak]
[You open the hatch]
[You stepped out of the aircraft]
[You stand on the aircraft and hold up the banana fan]
[You wave hard]
[Roaring air waves spurt out from the banana fan]
【The fog has cleared】
【You saw the ancient temple】
